MATHCOUNTS is a national math coaching and
competition program for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students created and run by the
National Society of Professional Engineers, the National Council for Teachers of
Mathematics, and the CNA Insurance Company. Participation in the program is
through your school. MATHCOUNTS provides an opportunity for students to have fun
while exploring areas of math that they may not see in their normal class
curriculum. It also gives students a chance to be recognized for their
achievements on both team and individual bases.
Winning teams and individuals at regional competitions advance to compete in the
state competition in Boise. The top 4 individuals and the coach of the winning
team from the state competition receive an all-expense-paid trip to
Denver, Colorado to represent Idaho in the Lockheed Martin MATHCOUNTS National Competition.
